Movie thread

Watched Hansel and Gretel - the chick who plays Gretel is seriously hot. Sure, it's pretty ridiculous, but for a shootemup, pseudo-gory movie with some good laughs, I liked it. Well worth the $1.50.

Also watched Oz - I agree with Snick, some stuff in there probably would have given Junior nightmares if she were any younger. Some of the movie was a bit meh, but the ending was pretty good, the visuals were great on Blu Ray, and Mila Kunis is wearing these black pants that may as well have been painted on, so thumbs up from me.

I was up early Sunday and lounging around and watched the Facebook movie, sad.y it was pretty interesting, but at the same time I am glad I ain't on Facebook....

I wouldn't pay to watch it,but if it comes on fx it's not to shabby...

Transformers 4 spied filming at GM Proving Grounds, new Bumblebee Camaro caught

The article didn't say, but I assume that was at Milford?

^Looks like it.

Not completely sure I like the new Camaro. The owner's forums are blowing up over the debate on whether this is actually the 2015 Generation 6 or if this is just some one-off concept for the movies. Based on the tweaked-out Optimus Prime, I would venture a guess that it's a one-off...

Here's a quality still photo that is supposedly released by Michael Bay:

I'm not sold on the current gen's looks, and that's even worse. Front end/grill looks like an old man with no teeth.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

I think its a mishmash between he Code 130R and the current gen. Proportions don't look Alpha or Zeta to me.

I also don't think Gen6 is coming out for 2015, since they just did a MCE for 2014.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

I like everything except the very front end/grill. Looks too "electric vehicle" to be considered a muscle car.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

The front end looks like a Storm Trooper who bloated up in his old age.

Also looks like it was cribbed from KIA

dont ask me why..but we went to see white house down...

its one of those movies you laugh at cause its so bad its funny..

I know Hollywood misses the Arnold / Rambo type one liner movies, but this just isnt going to work..

We watched Jack Reacher the other night. It was pretty good and followed the book decently. The main gripe I had was WTF was Tom Cruise doing getting cast as Jack Reacher??

Tom Cruise is about 5' 7" and 150 pounds; Jack Reacher in the books is 6' 5" and 250 pounds...

This is why I won't every see this movie. Totally ridiculous casting. In my mind, I see Sam Elliot in Roadhouse as Jack Reacher.

Just like I won't ever see Sum of all Fears with Ben Affleck - no way is he Jack Ryan.....

I always heard that (can't think of his name author of all the jack Ryan books) hated Harrison ford as jack Ryan..... When I think he was defin the best of the 3

I wish they would make "without remorse" into a movie and have the right casting!!!

Took the kids to see Monsters University yesterday. Meh, it was ok. Monsters, Inc. was definitely better.

Tom Clancy. Yeah, I never had a problem with Harrison Ford in that role - I was ok with that. I never got Anne Archer as his wife. In the books, his wife (to me), came across as a girl-next-door, blonde, California surfer girl who happens to be extremely intelligent and a world-renown eye surgeon. Honestly, while reading the books I pictured her more as Cheryl Tieg back in the day than Anne Archer......

Actually, this could probably be thread unto itself - miscasting in the movies......

 

[roadwreck]

anyone ever watch In Time...justin timber lake, olivia wilde missed the begining so the how rest of the movie was a little off for me.

I watched that on a transatlantic flight. I thought it was decent, of course it was one of three movies I watched on that flight and it isn't that difficult for a movie to seem good when the alternative is sitting a staring at the seatback in front of you for hours on end.

Lone Ranger-good flick, very enjoyable.

 

[Road Guy]

Hi Ho Silver! away!

Don't ever do that again......

Great Movie...maybe westerns will make a comeback!

We saw Despicable Me 2 on the fourth. I have not seen DM1, but the others said it was better than 2. I enjoyed the movie and the 3D effects were pretty cool

 

[Road Guy]

We saw the line to DM2 and said well wait till Next week!
